Rocky Horror Rebooted: The Broadway Revival of a Camp Classic
Richard O'Brien's cult phenomenon, Rocky Horror Show, is set to take Studio 54 by storm this spring. This limited engagement, produced by Roundabout Theatre Company and directed by Tony Award winner Sam Pinkleton, promises to be an unforgettable experience for audiences.
The full cast has just been announced, featuring a talented ensemble of newcomers and veterans alike. Luke Evans takes on the iconic role of Frank-N-Furter, while Rachel Dratch brings her signature wit as Narrator. Andrew Durand rounds out the main trio with his portrayal of Brad, alongside Stephanie Hsu's captivating Janet and Amber Gray's scene-stealing Riff Raff.
Newcomers Harvey Guillén and Juliette Lewis will also make their Broadway debuts in Eddie/Dr. Scott and Magenta, respectively. Michaela Jaé Rodriguez joins the mix as Columbia, bringing her powerful voice to the iconic role.
Rounding out the cast are Renée Albulario, Anania, Boy Radio, Caleb Quezon, Andres Quintero, Larkin Reilly, Paul Soileau, and John Yi, each contributing their unique talents to the show.
With previews set to begin on March 26, 2026, this production promises to be a wild ride for audiences. The limited engagement will run through June 21, 2026, making it an unmissable opportunity to experience Rocky Horror like never before.
This revival marks a major milestone in the show's remarkable 52-year history.

The subsequent film adaptation, released in 1975 and starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Meatloaf, and others, cemented its cult status.
Today, the show remains a beloved favorite among fans worldwide, with over 40 million audience members across 15 languages. Its enduring popularity is a testament to O'Brien's timeless genius, and this new production promises to be just as unforgettable.

this cast sounds AMAZING!!! I'm so hyped for the new Rocky Horror revival 
! Luke Evans as Frank-N-Furter? Mind blown 
! And with Rachel Dratch as Narrator, it's gonna be a wild ride from the get-go 
! March 26 can't come soon enough 
rachel dratch as narrator tho is gonna be EVERYTHING 
and luke evans as frank-n-furter better bring the drama 
can't wait for march 26th!
I mean, can you even imagine seeing the iconic scenes come to life on stage with this talented cast?! Luke Evans as Frank-N-Furter is going to be EVERYTHING and more!! 
The original cast may have been iconic, but this new production is going to be something else entirely... Can't wait! 
. A 52-year-old musical revamp? It's just going to be a bunch of out-of-touch hipsters singing along to songs they've never even heard before 
. The original Rocky Horror Show was a product of its time, and I doubt this new production will capture the same weird charm that made it so iconic back in the day 
. And what's with all these newcomers? Can't they see they're just gonna mess up the classics? 
luke evans as frank-n-furter? yes please! and rachel dratch as narrator? she's gonna bring so much sass 
cant wait for it to open in march 26 
It seems like an awfully long time to plan something of this magnitude. And what's with all these newcomers? I mean, don't get me wrong, they sound talented and all, but it feels like they're trying to change the formula or something. I'm a bit skeptical about this whole revival thing... 
They're bringing back the campy magic that made it a cult classic in the first place! 
And the fact that it's only on for like 6 months is just enough time to get used to it before it goes off again 
... anyway, I'm definitely going to try and catch a show, fingers crossed they'll have tix available 
. The fact that they're bringing in fresh faces alongside veteran talent is gonna bring a whole new energy to the production 
I'm low-key hyped for this Rocky Horror revival! The cast looks fire 
. I mean, who doesn't want to see Luke Evans bring Frank-N-Furter to life? 
And with the original music still holding up, this is gonna be a wild ride 
that's some serious camp cred for you. can't wait to see how this new production shakes things up 
while people are still struggling to make ends meet 
Only a few months to enjoy this campy classic before it's gone for good 
rocky horror is like that one aunt at the family reunion - it's still got a certain charm but some people are gonna hate on it even if they love it 
. personally, i think rick o'brien should've just left well enough alone with the original, all these changes sound like they're trying too hard to appeal to new fans 
It's going to be a wild ride, for sure! I just hope they don't mess up the cult classic status 
The fact that Rocky Horror Show has been rocking for over 52 years and still going strong is truly mind-blowing 
Did you know that Rocky Horror has been continuously performed in over 20 countries and has grossed millions of dollars worldwide since its initial production? That's some serious cult power!
